    Toughest Lefty in the game?

    I know you guys may say Kershaw or Sale gets the title here. But I think that Jon Lester takes the cake here. That sweeping curveball along with his mid 90's fastball sometimes overwhelms me. Whenever I face him in my Yankees franchise he racks up 10+ K's every game. It's a dread fest each and every time.

    Who do you guys think is the toughest Lefty? Feel free to opine and discuss.

      I don't have any problems with lefties at Safeco, only righties.

        Aroldis Chapman. When he's on and has command of his slider, he is wicked. I cannot for the life of me hit against him.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

            I remember facing James paxton at safeco. I struggled against him, but I made solid contact against him at least. With Lester it always a bunch of groundballs, strikeouts, and popups. One day I'm going to tag himand hit him hard...and I will document the hell out of it.

              I would have to say Chris Sale is the toughest lefty I've faced so far in The Show. His slider is lethal. I don't think I made contact off that pitch all game when I faced him a while back.

                Don't they have two? Neskek and I think siegrest correct me if I'm wrong. But those those two I can not hit one bit.

                I own A. cHampman of the reds though.

                    I play a yanks franchise also and agree 100%. Lester owns me. Its come to the point, when hes on, that I don't even try anymore. I just get it over with.

                        I had a hard time with Buehrle. Believe it or not. He uses all of his pitches so I'm always off balance.

                          Choate or Siegrest?

                          Choate is more of a lefty specialist and Siegrest is more of a power thrower over the top, but they didn't really make him that great on the game.

                            Choate and Neshek are both sidearmer relievers for saint Louis.

                              Neshek is prolly the one ur referring to.. He's awesome glad he made a comeback in his career.
